Chapter 1183 - 1182: The Secret of the Heart of the Sea King, the Gate Between Worlds

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1182: The Secret of the Heart of the Sea King, the Gate Between Worlds

The azure light surged within this space.

The breath of life was incredibly rich to an utmost degree.

Every breath Ye Chen took seemed like he was inhaling the purest life liquid, and the injuries on his body were rapidly self-healing.

In just a few breaths’ time.

Ye Chen was barely able to stand up.

He glanced around.

It was empty.

"The Heart of the Sea King... where exactly is it?"

Ye Chen murmured to himself. Although his injuries were recovering quickly, he still felt it was too slow.

Outside, the battle was fierce, and those he cared about were fighting desperately.

Any delay would increase their danger by countless times.

He must hurry!

Thus.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, absorbing a large amount of life essence, then activated his Martial Arts Divine Eye, unleashing his vision power to the extreme to search for the Heart of the Sea King!

Under the Martial Arts Divine Eye’s formidable insight, Ye Chen vaguely discovered a pattern.

The rich life essence that permeated the space seemed to be pulsating at a specific frequency.

This life essence must be coming from the Heart of the Sea King, so he only needed to find the source of it, which must be the Heart’s location.

Ye Chen immediately began to move.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Ye Chen arrived in front of a huge reef.

The reef’s shape was highly unusual, and through Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Divine Eye, he observed that the rich life essence was indeed emanating from the reef.

Moreover.

The strong heartbeat sound was most intense at this spot.

Ye Chen reached out his hand toward the reef.

However.

Before his hand could touch the reef.

"Buzz!"

A layer of azure light instantly covered the reef, blocking Ye Chen’s hand.

Ye Chen: "Sea King, your prophecy said I am the new Sea King. I’ve come now, I don’t have much time to waste. Give me the Heart of the Sea King, I have urgent matters to deal with!"

He believed that the legendary Sea King must have left consciousness here!

"You shameless brat, you’re a worthless new Sea King! In the prophecy I left, it clearly stated that the Celestial Burial Sea doesn’t need a Sea King anymore, and the secret of the Heart of the Sea King shall also be sealed away, permanently disappearing!"

A grumbling voice emerged.

On the surface of the reef, within the azure light screen, appeared the visage of an exceedingly handsome and elegant man.

Ye Chen: "..."

The Four Seas Beast Kings once hinted that Ye Chen resembled the Sea King.

And now looking at it.

In terms of appearance and aura, they indeed look similar.

But personality-wise, they’re not alike; the Sea King opened his mouth with a rogue-like manner.

Ye Chen: "Your prophecy was witnessed by the Four Seas Beast Kings and the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun. They approached me, wanting me to inherit the Heart of the Sea King. You should also be aware of the situation outside, right? They joined me in this chaotic battle to find the Heart!"

The Sea King’s image on the light screen blinked his charming eyes and then grumbled again: "Damn it, it must be that rascal who changed the prophecy I left behind!"

Ye Chen: "Sea King, who are you talking about?"

Sea King image: "Who else could it be? Apart from Yi Xiaoyao, no one else possesses such a skill. Even the Heaven-Burying Coffin outside had its consciousness forcibly altered by him; it’s all a trick of deceit and substitution!"

Ye Chen felt a surge of shock within his mind.

The consciousness within the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin is Yi Xiaoyao’s doing?

Yi Xiaoyao tampered with the power inside the coffin!

After the episode with his mother, Yun Ying, Ye Chen harbored nothing but hatred for Yi Xiaoyao.

No matter that Yi Xiaoyao acted for the so-called greater good, Ye Chen could never forgive him.

No one has the right to harm those he cares about for any reason!

Yet regarding the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin, Ye Chen actually felt a bit of affinity.

He thought the coffin merely collaborated with Yi Xiaoyao.

Unexpectedly, the coffin turned out to be the work of Yi Xiaoyao!

Yi Xiaoyao truly played a massive game of chess.

Manipulating the Celestial Burial Sea’s Heavenly Dao consciousness, causing stars to fall into the sea, aiming to ignite the light of Human Dao.

He altered the consciousness within the coffin and even changed the prophecy left by the Sea King!

In Yi Xiaoyao’s layout, every move tangled with Ye Chen’s destiny.

Ye Chen: "Sea King, regardless of whether I’m the person foretold in your prophecy, I need to find the Heart of the Sea King now!"

Sea King projection: "This is Yi Xiaoyao’s setup. You know about it and still want to enter the game?"

Ye Chen: "Previously, it was a gamble, but now, I must enter the game. The Heart of the Sea King possesses vast life essence; this mighty life force holds significant purpose for me. I hope the Sea King will grant it to me!"

Sea King projection: "Yi Xiaoyao has already set his sight on the Heart of the Sea King. The secret within can’t be kept forever. The fact you’ve gained trust from the Ancient Heaven-Devouring Kun and the Four Seas Beast Kings indicates your integrity is commendable. I’m reassured to pass the Heart to you.

But...

Inheriting the Heart means bearing its corresponding responsibilities; its secret concerns the life and death of all sea beasts in the Celestial Burial Sea.

Kid, this is no child’s play.

Back in the day, my prowess had nearly reached True God status, but for this secret, I ended up dying like this. I can assure you, even at True God level, keeping this secret is a path of nine deaths and one survival.

So, before my death, using a Secret Technique, I evaded Heavenly Dao’s perception and hid the Heart beneath the Celestial Dao Cage, using Heavenly Dao’s power to seal the secret!"

Ye Chen: "What exactly is the secret of the Heart of the Sea King?"

Sea King image: "A key."

"What kind of key?"

Sea King image: "A key between two realms."

Ye Chen showed surprise and said, "The Celestial Burial Sea can connect to another world?!"

Sea King image: "To be precise, an exalted being created the Celestial Burial Sea, which is a door, and the Heart is the key, though it cannot fully open the door connecting two realms."

Ye Chen’s eyes glinted, saying: "The Heart concerns the life and death of all sea beasts in the Celestial Burial Sea, so to open the door connecting the realms not only requires this key but also requires the sacrifice of all sea beasts’ lives, right?"

Sea King image: "Accurately, the super prohibition triggered by the key will engulf the Celestial Burial Sea, devouring all sea beasts’ lives!

If you inherit the Heart, even if you don’t wish to touch that door, you won’t have a choice, as formidable beings will find you...

Hence, this is the burden that comes with inheriting the Heart!

If you still wish for the Heart, I’ll give it to you right now.

I’m not worried you’ll do anything outrageous.

Yi Xiaoyao chose you, and despite his nastiness, his actions typically consider the bigger picture; he’s certain of your integrity."

Ye Chen: "Frankly, I want to cut Yi Xiaoyao down."

Sea King image: "Understandable, I want him dead as well. Many others do too; he disregards everyone’s feelings for his great ambitions.

His rationality has reached a point where it negates human nature!"

Ye Chen stopped talking about him and instead said, "I’ve made up my mind. I want to inherit the Heart of the Sea King!"

The current crisis is the priority.

His mother is gone.

But his teacher, his Miss Qing, his Brother Fatty, his Brother Silly, his little bird, and others... are still fighting for their lives.

He doesn’t want to lose anyone else he cares about!

The Heart of the Sea King is the only power capable of breaking the present deadlock!
